that might wake my wife up. wouldn't wake me up and is no where near the noise level of a custom exost. in fact custom exosts are illegal in most places. here in kalamazoo anything above 50 or 55 decibels is against hte law 24/7.

kidna stupid as most everything is above that level.

obviously its not enforced.

We plow a number of Elmhurst Snow Removal for a large Elmhurst management company and their residents are not too concerned by the noise. They are more upset if their car is not plowed out by the morning.

i have a full 3 inch flowmaster system with shorty headers, the only complaint i get is your truck sounds great want some coffee?

lol i have never heard of loosing a contract over an exhaust, its no different than running a diesiel straight piped or a skid steer outside the window at 3 or 4 in the morning right, the having the shovelers between the houses with steal shovels correct. most people are glad the get worken up to know they are getting that service right before they have to go to work at 5 or 6 in the am.

i think its more his exhaust just isnt as loud as we are thinking. getting woken up at 3 am every time it snows would get old quick.

If you lose a residentail the acct propavly isn't worth it anyway. My 06 6.0 is 5" straight piped with xtreme race custom tune and I've never lost an acct due to exhaust not even a complaint. And for those of you that know the ford 6.0 they're loud with an exhaust an tuner!

I have a John Deere 110 TLB, 2006 F-150, and a dodge 2500 with plow. The trucks are fine, but the Deere alarm is a little loud when backig up. I will have to turn alarm off if nobody around.
